About Me
As a multi award-winning graphic designer, creative director and advertising professional, the focus of my work has been dynamic and strategic brand-building by integrating a wide range of media including web, video, photography, illustration, and print.
My formal training has a concentration in graphic design theory, with a strong emphasis placed on concept, typography, and composition. A research driven process allows me to direct projects from concept to completion, ensuring that the end result is successful and meets the business and creative objectives.
